Microsoft.Build.Traversal: GetNativeManifest and FindUnderPath errors when attempting to build

[NickCraver]

I'm not sure if this belongs here or MSBuild, but I'm getting the following when attempting to use Traversal as suggested in dotnet/msbuild#1730 (comment):

I've created a branch with the repro here: https://github.com/MiniProfiler/dotnet/tree/craver/traversal

To run:

dotnet build PackageBuild.csproj -c Release /p:CI=true

I see related issues in MSBuild here:

• Failure in project reference target framework negotiation when ProjectReference items are duplicated dotnet/msbuild#2688
• Updated msbuild introduced build errors: MSB4057: The target "GetNativeManifest" does not exist in the project. dotnet/msbuild#2874

...but I would assume (dangerous!) those downstream issues are from traversal double-includes of projects, or possible from the tree beneath a project (some of the projects in there reference others, with most of them referencing MiniProfiler.Shared at the end) not being fully evaluated on what to build? Just trying to save some time with observations here...hopefully the repro above helps more than anything.

It seems there are two unique issues here.

error MSB4057: The target "GetNativeManifest" does not exist in the project.

In newer version of MSBuild, the project-to-project call of GetNativeManifest was marked optional. I had trouble reproducing the error at first because I'm using newer versions of .NET Core and MSBuild.

I recommend that you use a newer version of .NET Core SDK in your global.json. I tried 2.1.200 and it had the fix to ignore missing targets.

If that's not an option, you'll need to specify an empty GetNativeManifest target in your Directory.Build.props so that the target exists.

  <Target Name="GetNativeManifest" />

The real one will override your empty one if its ever defined.

error MSB4044: The "FindUnderPath" task was not given a value for the required parameter "Path"

This is caused by some confusing logic in the MSBuild default targets here. It turns out that OutDir has a value as long as you don't specify a Configuration. In your case, you're specifying -c Release so OutDir isn't specified and then you get an error deep in the Clean target.

This is a bug and we'll get this fixed. I'll either disable the Clean target for traversal project since they don't really produce anything or I'll just set OutDir and OutputPath by default.

A workaround for now is to set OutputPath in your traversal project.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.Build.Traversal/1.0.22">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputPath Condition=" '$(Configuration)' != '' ">bin\$(Configuration)\</OutputPath>
    <OutputPath Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">bin\Debug\</OutputPath>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="src\**\*.*proj" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

The fix for the "FindUnderPath" error is available in 1.0.34. Let me know if it solves that issue.

[NickCraver]

Confirmed the FindUserPath is resolved in .34. Now that 2.1 is out and 2.1.300 is stable I also gave that a go - no issues at all now. I need to compare outputs and such to confirm this will work but these 2 are good to go.

Thanks for the quick help @jeffkl! It's much appreciated :)
